Let’s say you could make a list of five people, living or dead, you’d like to have lunch with. Or dinner - if they’ll spring for the tip. That’s a hard list to think of making. But I’m sure of one person that would be on my list: Joss Whedon. Needless to say, when he does something, I’m interested.

This isn’t so say that I’m interested if he picks his nose or plays a good game of croquet. I’m interested in his projects. The Fox TV show Dollhouse is coming along (with Eliza Dushku and Amy Acker) and I’m already feeling like a diehard fan from what I’ve seen. Whedon always impresses me (with tiny, tiny exceptions), so I’m in a state of anticipatory excitement about Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog. Seriously, I think I’m shaking! Is this vertigo? Hm. I’ll call a Dr. of my own, while you check out all of this info on Dr. Horrible!

The official Dr. Horrible site is a must-see. From there you can access the Dr. Horrible MySpace, Facebook, and Twitter. Pay special attention to THE PLAN. If you miss out, and start crying, it will only be your own sadface fault! You have been warned.

Digg away, my fiends, and friends, and friendly fiends! Here!!! Should I namedrop in the process? Joss Whedon (of course), Felicia Day (a former potential on Buffy the Vampire Slayer), Nathan Fillion (Firefly - also, I kept typing Nation Fillion, haha), Jed Whedon, Zack Whedon aaaaaaaaand Neil Patrick Harris (arguably the best character on How I Met Your Mother). Welcome Neil, to our Whedonverse / Jossverse! (Did Alyson Hannigan of Buffy fame introduce you guys? Did you shake hands? Were your hands sweaty? Are you typically a sweaty guy? Wait. Don’t tell me that! Let’s keep this serious. So…what were you wearing?)

If you want to miss out on the witty Joss Banter and really just want the nitty gritty (you are totally lame, but here):

Once I knew the combination of the names J.J. Abrams and Joshua Jackson (another J.J. - ha, yea, I’m sure I’m not the first to notice that) were coming together for a show, I was on board for Fringe. It’s the new Fox TV show. It’s sort of like Alias meets Lost, although that’s too simple of an explanation. And that’s only explaining the vibe of the show. That is to say, there’s lots of overwhelming mystery, and probably a decent amount of cliffhangers in store for us. Can you stand it?! I am so ready to swoon over Joshua Jackson, again. Oh, Dawson’s Creek, you’ve been gone too long.

But I’m no longer an angsty teen who needs to watch (only) angsty teen shows. I’m now in the CIA, covering up uh…things, so that’s what I can relate to. And that’s why I must watch Fringe!

When you’re a CIA operative it’s so hard to find a decent TV show to relate to. Sigh. (Wanna see my very real, and very glittery badge? I made it in photoshop!)

When an unlikely trio uncovers a deadly mystery involving a series of unbelievable events, they discover it may be part of a larger, disturbing pattern that blurs the line between science fiction and technology on FRINGE airing TUE 9/8c this fall on FOX.

The first Fringe trailer from Fox:

And, there’s one more!:

I will be eagerly looking for Dollhouse on Monday nights in January of 2009. Until then, here’s a promo picture and a promo trailer!

The official Fox tv Dollhouse promo trailer:

DOLLHOUSE focuses on a secret organization that employs “Actives” — a group of operatives who have their memories and personalities wiped clean so they can be imprinted with new ones, allowing them to take on various missions for hire. DOLLHOUSE airs Mondays (8:00-9:00 PM ET/PT) this January on FOX.

This is a show by Joss Whedon, we all have reason to be excited. Not to mention, it stars Eliza Dusku. Patience is difficult to harness.

I’m about to talk about what happened in the recent Bones season finale so take caution if you haven’t seen it yet!

So, we speculated on who might be the Gormogon apprentice, and while we thought Zack Addy would be hurt or killed, I don’t think too many of us thought he’d actually be the killer. The finale was full of red herrings, making me think it was everyone from well - everyone! Everyone except Bones and Booth. My thoughts flitted to Hodgins, Angela, Sweets, Zack (mildly!), and even Cam.

When Hodgins presented the information about the lead level he found, I realized three people had constant access to his house: him, Angela, and Zack. But I was not prepared for any of them to be the apprentice. I had gone into this episode thinking it was Clark Edison. I re-watched the first episode of the season and then, with the other recent episode where Clark was there - I was certain he was appearing just enough to stay on the radar.

But apparently not!

Despite the fact that I lost interest in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles three episodes in, it’s been renewed for a second season. The show probably isn’t even bad, I just didn’t have the motivation to watch it, commercials and all. (No, I don’t have any fancy TiVo/DVR schtuffs. Alas!) I think this is a show I may get the DVDs of sometime (I’m sure they’ll come out) and sit down to watch when I can really get into it all. It was hard to watch the show when I’d never seen any of the movies. You wanna know what movies I’m (re) watching lately? You’ve Got Mail*, Sabrina, I Am Legend, Desperately Seeking Susan and His Girl Friday.

Anyway, Lena Headey and Summer Glau were at the Fox TV upfronts. They looked interesting.

Lena, I’m not a huge fan of your haircut because it makes your hair seem limp, just hanging there - emphasizing your square face. So I kind of wish you’d do something else with it. Now, your uh…pantsuit, looks fine when I look at it and scroll down slowly - it would have been a cute sundress - the blue hue is lovely, and the moddish white flowers are pretty. However, I don’t even know what to begin calling the bunched, elastic-cuffed pant things. Designer clown-inspired pants?

Aside: I’m not a fan of tattoos, but you make them seem elegant. Neat.

Summer, you look like a sun-drenched flower. I suspect people somewhere are commenting on your toes (larger picture below the first). I hope they take into consideration all of the ballet training and dancing you did - and realize flaws make people more beautiful and unique. I’m glad you refuse to hide them. I love the strappy sandals. Continued
